Efficient management of the process of the development of the adaptable technology and the transfer of technology is crucial in achieving economic growth. An adaptable technology may not be transferred if the process of technology transfer is not managed efficiently. On the other hand, even if the management of transfer process is efficient, if the technology is not suitable it cannot be transferred. The present paper examines these two aspects of the system of development and transfer of technology in detail for hybrid bajra in two states-Gujarat and Rajasthan. In the former hybrid bajra was successful and in the latter state the programme did not succeed. It was observed that agro-climatic conditions in Rajasthan were different from Gujarat and therefore development of adaptive varieties require more efforts which were looking in terms of scientific personnel and resources. Further, the management of transfer process lacked coordination among various cooperating organisations such as research, seed corporation, extension organisation.
